Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.

王士禛“神韻説”奉王孟爲圭臬，似與義山詩涇渭兩分。故而義山詩接受史上，王氏往往被忽略。但從虚與實的詩學範疇來看，義山的朦朧詩與王士禛的神韻詩，都以寓有於無、化實爲虚的方式呈現，不直切實事；富含言外之意，徒追其字面則往往無人、無事、無跡可尋。基於審美理想的交集，王士禛作詩填詞，以義山詩爲效法對象，這在其早期和晚年的創作中尤爲突出。外放揚州期間，王氏聚集同好，以《倚聲初集》的編纂爲契機，在豔詞創作熱潮中，開展義山詩品評活動。作爲關鍵讀者，王士禛在詩詞、詩話、詞話等著述中反復提及李商隱。這些文獻因王氏詩壇盟主的地位，産生廣泛而深遠的影響。

Wang Shizhen’s theory of “shenyun” upholds Wang Wei and Meng Haoran as the highest models, seemingly forming a clear distinction from the poetry of Li Shangyin (Yishan). Consequently, in the history of the reception of Li Shangyin’s poetry, Wang Shizhen has often been overlooked. However, when examined through the poetic categories of “xu” (the intangible) and “shi” (the tangible), both Li Shangyin’s misty poetry and Wang Shizhen’s shenyun poetry present reality through absence and transform the tangible into the intangible, avoiding direct engagement with concrete events. Rich in meaning beyond words, a mere literal interpretation often reveals no specific person, event, or trace. Based on this shared aesthetic ideal, Wang Shizhen took Li Shangyin’s poetry as a model for his own poetry and ci lyric compositions, a practice particularly evident in his early and late works. During his tenure as an official in Yangzhou, Wang gathered like-minded peers and, capitalizing on the compilation of Yisheng Chuji, initiated critical discussions on Li Shangyin’s poetry amidst a fervent trend of composing ci poetry on romantic themes. As a key reader, Wang Shizhen frequently referenced Li Shangyin in his writings, including poetry, ci, and critical works such as “remarks on poetry” (shihua) and “remarks on ci” (cihua). Owing to Wang’s status as a leading figure in the literary world, these texts exerted a broad and profound influence.
